Angel In Your Eyes tells the story of the modern generation of the Gerads family. Nicolette Gerads, the family's caring mother is a calm and practical woman of inner fantasies about the world that is, and that is not. Despite these dreams, she is dedicated to the well-being of her children, Clyde and Claudia, two teenagers navigating their lives. None of them are alone however, as they always have the collective subconscious, an inherited choir of ancestral voices, to offer its guidance. But, when these aged voices meet modern desire, the family's long-standing traditions and practices are met with defiance only youth can cause.
A story of romance, passions, and reclaiming dreams, "Angel In Your Eyes" is a working title.
